EMBER: Four years after the apocalypse, the United States is in ruins. We're still not sure of how many are still our there, struggling to survive. It could be just me and Sonia. Life is a quiet nightmare. The silence of the new world is enough to drive anyone over the edge of sanity. Yet we know we are being followed and watched by a mysterious group of hooded warriors. Their goals are unknown. If this were four years ago, we would just call the police. But this is the apocalypse. And there's no one left but us.

SONIA: Ember. That is the name of my best friend who has stuck with me through and through. A best friend can turn the most dauntless endeavors into the most memorable experiences. Only one problem. This is the new world. This is the world after the apocalypse. And a hike in the mountains is not exciting and adventurous when you're starving, you're lost, and you're being chased relentlessly by mysterious warriors of whom you only know one thing. They. Will. Kill. You.

Ember's Cupid by Dez_Lafey
12 parts Complete
Mason and I were close. I looked up to him, not as a lover but as a partner. He was my best friend, my other half, a shoulder to lean on; Mason was the best person I could have ever possibly met. I saw him not as most women see men but as they see their siblings. Even with our cupid status, we hadn't believed in love, we only believed in loyalty. "What is it like to be in love?" He quietly giggled and shook his head. "I do not know; I've never been in love before. I think that it is like caring for someone so deeply that you would put their needs before your own. Being in love is like being with your best friend all the time, they know you better than anyone else does, they are someone who helps you become a better person just by being there. Being in love is... well... it is knowing and accepting and believing in them no matter whom else is there. You will always care for them, even if you aren't there with them. If you are truly in love then nothing will ever change that." He promised me that he would always be there even in my darkest moments, but it turned out... that is was nothing but a lie. It was only a lie that our kind had told themselves, to secure their mental state. Walking down the alleys of the streets, to not be seen, I turn my head in the opposite direction of my destination. Footprints, we left footprints in the snow; of course they were faint and were soon ready to disappear yet they were still there. At that point in time they were there whether it was seen or not. I guess each of us were humans at one point, whether we were seen or not, we were still there. Then one day we weren't, we disappeared only to be covered by the lies that our loved ones told themselves to understand that missing feeling. We were there and then we weren't just as the footprints in the snow.
The Virus Within (Original rough draft) by CrystalScherer
144 parts Complete
Back by popular request! The 2017 rough draft of The Virus Within! (Caution: Contains massive plotholes that were fixed in the polished The Virus Within Series. Grammar issues are present, particularly missing commas.) What do you do when you are one of the infected? The virus in my blood is trying to steal my humanity. It alters my very thoughts and reactions. It taunts me by tempting me with desires that it planted in my brain. These bloodthirsty desires would lead to my demise if I ever gave in. I have more in common with the zombies than with humans at this point. Even the fallen zombies accept me as one of their own. Blood is required to retain my grip on sanity, but the sweet-smelling blood from humans is a short path to madness. Human blood is to be avoided at all costs. Humankind around the world was driven close to extinction by the sudden appearance of the zombies, yet small groups of survivors constantly manage to appear and put my control to the test. -------------------------- This is a standalone zombie book. It has nothing to do with A Different Virus. I wanted to try a book with an easily irritated main character and a nutcase secondary character. This book has a slightly darker outlook at the beginning than my usual stories, but it has some humor further along. Definitely not a horror story, although it has its share of action. 4 updates a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday! Copyright April 2017. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story. Fanfictions are allowed to use my *world* and *zombie ranks* as long as credit is given.
The Story of Midnight by Silverwynd
51 parts Complete
"Who's out there?" One of the men yelled. Of course only silence met them. I remained quiet and waited for the group to start moving again. "Maybe it was just an animal." Someone whispered. The person, who I assumed was the captain of the small squad, signaled for them to walk again. They clearly showed fear as they kept going; brandishing their weapons to guard themselves with. "Two are holding lanterns. I'll tell you when you're too close to them." I heard my friend whisper in my ear. I followed the men as I picked up another branch and waited for the right time to break it. They continued to walk through the forest, turning their heads in every direction as if an animal might lunge at them and rip their throats out. I guess in a way I was going to do that. "Go back a few feet." My friend whispered. I carefully distanced myself from the group and waited. "Where is she?" I quickly snapped the stick as soon as he finished asking the question. They stopped and two soldiers raised their lanterns to shine its light in the darkness. I quickly hid behind a tree before both of them turned where I was. A low frustrated growl came from one of the men, "The girl's playing with us. She's out here following our every move." How paranoia can cloud the mind. At nine years old, Silver decided to leave her village for the forest. Since then, she's been hunted; everyday is a fight for her life, every breath she takes could be her last, but she's determined to stay alive. Her life isn't the kind anyone would want to live but she's managed to survive this long so, what's a few more years?
Night Disease by kipekipe
101 parts Complete Mature
REVISED EDITION COMING OUT MONTHLY/COMPLETED In a world overrun by zombies, A single bite heralds doom - except for Kaindra, who defies death itself, being undead already. ******** As humanity struggles to adapt to the new reality of zombies-infested streets and lurking supernatural creatures from ancient myths and legends, survival becomes an ever-evolving challenge. Survival is a constant battle not only against the undead but also against supernatural creatures and their zealous followers. The relentless onslaught of zombies and the mysterious reemergence of mythical beings push society to its limits. Civilization's last bastions fall one by one, teetering on the brink of collapse. As these ancient myths awaken, they reveal intentions that are far from clear- some may hold the key to salvation, while others could herald further doom. The question remains: Can humanity unravel the mysteries of these legendary beings in time to save themselves, or will they fall prey to the very legends they once dismissed? ___ Excerpt: Taking a deep breath, I lean closer to the mirror, my skin prickling. I thought it was a trick of the light, but as I stare at my reflection, my fragile lies crumble away. The reflection staring back at me feels unrecognizable. My once deep, dark brown eyes now glimmer with an otherworldly light, like twin moons suspended in a sea of silver. The faint glow within them swirls softly, catching the dim flicker of flame I summoned, like ripples across a moonlit lake. Their alien intensity sends a chill down my spine. The orbs seemed to hold a universe within, depths of endless mysteries and ancient wisdom beyond my grasp. ___ Warning: Mentions of suicide and self-harm Beautiful cover made by @scmimi. Check out their work! Credit to @crystalscherer for the inspiration of this fan-made story

Chasing the Ember:Echoes of the Void by theyluv_jh0n
47 parts Complete Mature
--- CHASING THE EMBER: ECHOES OF THE VOID In the end, it wasn't strength that saved them. It was the refusal to break. --- WORLDVIEW SUMMARY The Setting: A Dying Earth and the Last Ark Earth is uninhabitable. Scarred by war, disease, and climate collapse, the planet no longer supports life. The Emberwake Ark is humanity's final escape: a city-sized spacecraft holding 65,000 of Earth's last survivors, adrift in the void. No weapons. No military. Just thinkers, engineers, broken families, scavengers, and those who paid, tricked, or clawed their way aboard. Supplies are critically low. Food, oxygen, water, and mental stability are all degrading. No one's unscarred - some physically, others emotionally - except one man who's held together by a very thin, but unbroken, thread. --- The Universe: Cosmic Terror Meets Myth-Made-Flesh Space is not silent. It is alive with ancient, unknowable forces. Humanity begins to discover that myths weren't stories. They were warnings. Earth's ancient pantheons-Greek, Norse, Aztec, Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese-are distorted reflections of real cosmic beings. Entities that live between stars. These include: Jörmungandr - A space-leviathan that coils around dead stars. Apep's Spawn - Shadow-born creatures that eat dreams and time. Fenrir-class Entities - Beasts that hunt on instinct and collapse reality around them. Watchers - Beings that only observe. Their gaze erases people from memory and time. The Sun-Eater - An endless void that mimics stars and consumes anything seeking warmth. Quetzacryon - A radiant, godlike being that gives paradise... before incinerating all who submit to it. These aren't gods. They are forces. Intelligent, instinctive, and indifferent. Time loops, parallel realities, psychological traps, shifting laws of physics - the universe itself resists comprehension. ---

Not The Last {Rough Draft}

50 parts Complete Mature

~Thank you for the continued love for this series! I was 13 when I began this book, and am now taking the time to go back to completely rewrite it, and maybe just publish someday~ I'm 15 and my name is Astrix. Let's start with that. That seems like an easy thing to start with. Now, let me add in some other details. I live in a zombie apocalypse. Yeah, that's about as enjoyable as I can make it seem. Now let me add in something else. I'm wanted by the CIA for reasons that I don't even know, but I guess I will find out eventually. Maybe somewhere within my story I will figure it out. I'm well known as The Bad Ass for reasons that are kind of obvious once you meet me. Maybe that's why they're after me? Because I'm a Bad Ass? Nope, I doubt that. Well anyways, the answers are out there. Along with the answers to my past. The answer to life even. Maybe it really is 42 but I don't think it would hurt to start looking at one. So here we go. Chapter one. Book 1 *Being completely rewritten, final product will not be put on Wattpad, but hopefully go to print* **Highest Rating--#44 in Adventure**
